About This Property
We love the family feel at Umkumbe. The lodge calls itself the first luxury tented camp in the Sabi Sand, and it has been run by the same family, with bushveld hospitality going back to 1937.
Four types of tented suites sit on wooden decks in the Sabie Game Reserve section, sharing open borders with Kruger National Park.
Why We Love It
There is a tree house built around a weeping boer-bean, and the honeymoon suite has its own plunge pool.
Game viewing in the Sabi Sand is some of the best in Africa, especially for leopard.
